I love the ‘Week in Review’ summaries I am seeing at blogs like:\u00a0https:\/\/homonym.wordpress.com\/<\/a>,\u00a0http:\/\/darcynorman.net\/<\/a>, and\u00a0http:\/\/bionicteaching.com\/<\/a> so I am going to give it a shot as a method of ensuring I get to my blog more often. \u00a0I’m going to start with a few things I have bookmarked this week and hopefully work towards regular updates on work-related items I have in the mix.<\/p>\n

Techniques for Unleashing Student Work from Learning Management Systems<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
First, students owned their means of production. They weren\u2019t writing in discussion forums in order to get 2 points for posting to the weekly prompt. They wrote to communicate with audiences within the class and beyond. Second, everyone\u2019s thinking could be found in the same place, by looking at hashtags and our syndication engines on t509massive.org. Finally, this design allows our learning to be permeable to the outside world. Students could write for audiences they cared about: fellow librarians or English teachers or education technologists working in developing countries.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
